[LINUX] Problems with US international keyboard layout

[gdmsl]

I cannot have bindings in game for the keys ' and when using the us international layout (us-acentos) where ' and are two modifier keys to get acentos on various letters. For example + e will give è and the character is obtained with + space. In the old client I had the assigned to the scoreboard and it worked.

xev gives this output when pressing the key:

KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
    root 0x1d1, subw 0x0, time 46642086, (280,197), root:(968,222),
    state 0x0, keycode 0 (keysym 0x60, grave), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 49
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (60) "`"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

SDL is not generating key up/down events for this key as it's part of the accent composition. I've opened SDL bug #3076 for this to see if they can change their behavior.

Is this still happening after the March 24 SDL update?

Checking one last time, is this still happening?

[gdmsl]

yes it is still happening. I tried to bind the ` or the ' to an action but the client ignored it keeping the original binding.

If you add -input_message_spew to your launch options and look at console output in a terminal (or via a file using -con_logfile) when you press those keys what does it say?

SDL:  got SDL_KEYDOWN
KEYDOWN (keyc): sdlkeycode=1073741824 sdlscancode=53 SDL_GetKeyName='' buttoncode=0 buttonname='' ButtonCode_GetLocalKeyNameUTF8=''
SDL:  got SDL_KEYUP
KEYUP (keyc) sdlkeycode=1073741824 sdlscancode=53 buttoncode=0 buttonname=''

when pressing ``` button

OK, the SDL update didn't have an impact so we'll leave it assigned to the SDL dev.

Are you still seeing this problem?

[gdmsl]

Yes. Just tried. The problem persists.
